Similar to AUS-8 in its properties, performance, and function, 8Cr13MoV steel contains both molybdenum and vanadium. Resulting from this recipe is blade steel that retains a sharp cutting edge over time and use. The "comet" shaped opening hole is a trademark of the byrd line and is synonymous with the stringent quality requirements, high performance materials and manufacturing, which go into every knife.

The Robin's intermediate size makes it a winning crossover for both office or weekend carry. Its stainless steel handle is chamfered for ergonomic pinch-free cutting that reduces user fatigue and discomfort. The steel handle offers just enough weight to reassuringly remind you it's in your pocket, ready when you are. Jimping (texturing) at the spine and choil keep the folder firmly in your grip creating more purchase and control even when cutting strenuously or for long periods of time.

Brad Southard is an amazingly talented custom knifemaker who specializes in high-performance folder designs. His first collaboration with Spyderco® features a flipper, a novel blade-opening device that was pioneered by custom knifemaker Kit Carson. Pulling on it with your index finger creates a tension against the detent mechanism that holds the blade closed. When the detent is overcome, the blade rotates on a special captive ball-bearing pivot system and snaps authoritatively into the open position. The Southard's handle combines a textured Earth-brown G-10 scale and thick titanium liner on one side with a solid titanium scale on the other. The scale forms the foundation of the knife's sturdy Reeve Integral Lock® (R.I.L.) mechanism and features a small inlaid G-10 panel that acts as an overtravel stop when releasing the lock mechanism. It is also home to the knife's matching stainless steel clip, which supports right-side tip-up carry. Offering an amazing synthesis of ergonomics, functionality, and state-of-the-artmaterials, the Southard is one of the most advanced Spyderco® folders ever produced.
